Happy Monday, UNC! Basketball is back, the University is working through some stuff and Orange County is getting trashy. Here's the news:
QUICK HITS
- Something smells fishy here. Community leaders of Orange County are pushing for a waste disposal system that won’t put an extra burden on low-income communities.
- Struggling to register for the classes you want? So are writers for the Duke Chronicle — they’ve been prohibited from taking a Duke professor’s class, according to his syllabus.
- “It’s not just about the music, but the mentorship and the fulfillment that these kids get.” UNC’s Musical Empowerment provides music lessons to underprivileged children, who will perform in a recital this Saturday.
SPORTS!
- Juniors Kenny Williams and Luke Maye shone in Friday’s season opener against Northern Iowa, which UNC won 86-69. Also notable: first-years Garrison Brooks, Sterling Manley and Jalek Felton, making their debut on and off the court.
- The women’s basketball team edged out Colorado in overtime with an 87-80 victory on Sunday in a hard-fought win.

- The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams may have lost to the Texas Longhorns this Saturday, but they didn’t exit the pool without breaking a few records.
AROUND THE UNIVERSITY
